AUTOFILL – Automatic Assignments

AutoFill – Automatically Assign Employees to Shifts

Don’t see theAutoFill button?

Be sure you are on an UnPublished Weekly schedule
Some multi-week schedule views do not have an AutoFill button. Change to a weekly or daily view.

Your main manager may not have set your permissions to allow you to AutoFill.

Once your shifts have been added (using Add Shifts or Import), you can use AutoFill to automatically assign employees to open, unassigned shifts to achieve the best possible schedule for everyone in a matter of seconds. AutoFill must be done one week at a time.

You can even Clear the AutoFilled assignments and AutoFill again to get slightly different assignments. Because AutoFill starts with a random ordering, if employee preferences or availability are similar, our scheduling engine tries to randomize the assignments as much as possible. If repeated AutoFilling does not give different results, it is likely due to only a few employee preferences having been set, and AutoFill is repeatedly trying to accommodate just those preferences.
